The responsibilities placed upon Independent Reviewing
Officers (IROs) increased significantly under the Adoption
and Children Act 2002. More than ever their role is vital in
promoting the rights and welfare of the looked after child
and in ensuring that plans are properly progressed. It is
therefore essential that all IROs across an authority have a
common understanding of what is expected of them and
what they should expect from their department.This
course looks at those responsibilities and expectations and
gives IROs time to reflect and develop common approaches
to their role.
Learning outcomes cover:
- Developing a consistent approach to chairing reviews.
- Using looked after children materials effectively in
reviews.
- Ensuring the views and needs of the child/young person,
family members, carers and all professionals are
appropriately addressed.
